My friend Sharon and "Huntington House" partner was gifted with a curb side find. She was excited about the her new found treasure and emailed me this photo. She had already primed the discarded desk when she sent me this photo. This was going to be our latest treasure which would find it's new home at the Tea Party Castle. It didn't look like much, but I knew that Sharon would work her painting magic.

Did I mention that she is a gifted painter? After she had painted, we added the tulle skirt. The tulle had a wonderful shimmer to to. Once we got the tulle on, we knew it needed a bit more "BLING".

We added two large bows and for the BLING we added a large rhinestone in the center of the bow.

The desk was also given a crystal drawer pull for some extra Bling! I think the lamp and the desk are a perfect pair. I enjoyed working with Sharon on another project. It's fun to work with someone who is so creative. Once you start working together it's amazing what you can create.

Well the weekend is here and there's lots of creative ideas to read about. I'll be linking up this creation at the following sites....

I have a similar table in my craft room that I am using for my sewing machine. I have already painted it white and am now deciding how I will dress it up a bit more. The shape is similar to the one you have shared with us. They were called "kidney" tables and were dressing tables or vanities. My Dad made the one I have for my Mom.The tulle skirt that you added was exactly how they used to look. Mine originally had wooden arms that crossed over where the drawer is and that the skirt would be attached to and you were able to swing them open to get to the drawer.Even though I am using it now as a sewing table, I think I may "play" a bit more with it. Thanks for the inspiration!!I also just watched some of your videos and they were just great!!Debbie

Hi Sherry, What princess (young or old) wouldn't "LOVE" a sweet table like the one you created! Your work is truly inspirational and I thank you for sharing! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!Hugz,Kim

Nicely done! I wouldn't have been so creative with that plain looking table - the before. I have a rocking horse - got it at a garage sale that is currently painted blue and white, and I want to repaint it for my daughter, have any ideas on where I can get some tips?
